Still awaiting a sci-fi book haul (The Prefect, Zoe’s Tale, The Temporal Void, Anathem). With no school, I tend to devour books very quickly. I borrowed 4 books last week from my mom and finished them by Friday. I borrowed a book from a friend and it was finished by Sunday. I bought three hardcover books today and two are already finished.
